AIBU to have very little appetite in this hot weather?

[plomh]

The heat n humidity has certainly affected my appetite.

Today I had a bowl of cereals
lunch - a bag of crisps

I’m not one that appetite gets affected with heat or illness

Had just under 2 litres of water

Me too. Barely eaten anything today although partly down to anxiety.

I am the same.

Seems like a good opportunity to drop a few pounds! I just want cold drinks, is all, really.

I'm the same, just a sandwich and a bowl or two of cereal is enough for me in this weather. I drink a good amount of water daily anyway but recently drinking more so maybe that's also filling me up a bit more

What a funny question, how could that possibly be unreasonable? Are you going to force feed yourself if any says you are 😂

Same here, bought some bowls of Greek salad in anticipation for this weather, along with olives and meats. Nothing like a meze in this heat 🤗

This is very normal.
Then sticky toffee pudding in winter.

1.5 kg down since monday, and I drink loads. Only benefit of this heat!

No appetite for dinner the last couple of days. Last night, it got to almost 10pm and I wasn't really hungry. Debated making a round of toast, but just couldn't be bothered, so had a banana.
Drinking a lot more though, including large iced coffees, which I wouldn't normally have, so that's probably filling me up a bit.

I’ve had zero appetite in this heat. Just had my tea this week, which has been a sandwich.

Not had anything food wise so far today. The ice cold beer I’m drinking at the moment is going down well and so will a few more. A liquid lunch is working well.

I’ve been having breakfast (sometimes fairly late) and then just snacks really, it’s too hot and too much effort to do proper meals.

Very normal. Don't know how anyone can shovel loads of hot food down on a hot day.

Same - all I had for a week now is fruit salad for breakfast, chicken salad for lunch and cheese and egg salad for dinner 😂

Unfortunately not. Appetite the same as usual plus extra desire to eat because its too hot for my normal activities so I'm bored. Not helped by the fact we've had cold buffet style meals all week and I always over eat because I want some of everything.

I eat more in the heat. My appetite always likes to be perverse. I’m not having hot food but lots of bread/cheese/cold meats/salad etc.

You are not being unreasonable… but then you wouldn’t be unreasonable if you had an absolutely huge appetite like me. I’m hungrier than ever in this weather. Roaming around the house like a Pac-Man, eating everything in sight. It’s fine, who cares OP?

Has someone suggested you should be eating more?

I can't eat when it's over about 25-26c. It's always been the case.

Yesterday, other than a smoothie for lunch I didn't eat until nearly 10pm, and even then I forced myself as I knew I needed to eat something.

I was hungry at lunchtime, but I had done almost 4 hours of exercise this morning, and was feeling a little bit woozy. I managed 6 gyoza and enjoyed them. I also managed a few nuts and grapes. I suspect I will eat before 10pm tonight!!

I am sure I will be ravenous when the temperature drops to highs in the low 20s next week

I think that’s pretty normal? Or this another competitive under eating thread.

Just eat what you want, it’s not unreasonably in any way to not eat if you’re not hungry, presuming you normally eat when it’s not so warm.
weird thread!

Ive had salads for lunch and a proper dinner in the evenings, mostly bbqd meat or fish and more salad. Unfortunately ds will require feeing no matter the weather and the older dc have been around a bit too this week (which has been lovely), we always sit and eat dinner together whoever is home. But people just eat what they want, last night I had a small piece of steak and some rocket and some tomato and red onion salad. Was enough but not as much as I’d usually eat.
My appetite wanes a little in the summer, how could this be unreasonable?

Be careful OP, these threads always attract the competitive under eaters. I think some are already here

YANBU of course but I've been starving all week as usual, despite the heat!

Completely normal.

It is actually better for your body to eat lighter, smaller meals when it is really hot.

Digesting food generates internal body heat which is why your appetite being reduced is one of the ways your body tries to cope with heat.

Same here

Me too. No appetite. I’ve had half a wrap at lunchtime and 2 glasses of wine this evening. 😬

Parkrun tomorrow should be interesting.
